PREFACE 



In the introduction to his British and Irish Writers on Agriculture , 
which was first published in 1929, Walter Frank Perkins wrote: 
‘This is a Bibliography of some 1,500 British and Irish writers on 
the Agriculture of the United Kingdom from the earliest printed 
books until, and including, the year 1900. For reasons which seemed 
sufficient to me, I have laid down certain arbitrary rules of inclusion 
and exclusion.’ As a result his book included works on the general 
practice and improvement of agriculture 5 on agricultural chemistry, 
botany and entomology; on drainage, weights and measures, and on 
agricultural education and biography; and it excluded forestry, 
horticulture, surveying, estate management, herd books, veterinary 
science, farm architecture, and agricultural law, politics and econ- 
omics. The scope of the bibliography was somewhat enlarged in the 
second and third editions, published in 1932 and 1959 respectively, 
and lists of anonyma and of journals and serial publications were 
added. 

Perkins’ own agricultural library reflects to some extent the pat- 
tern of his Bibliography; the collection contains, however, numerous 
works which fall within the categories he excluded, while many 
books listed in British and Irish Writers on Agriculture will not be 
found. The earliest imprint is 1 600, the date of the Maison Rustique 
or , the Countrie Farme, by Charles Estienne and Jean Liebaut, 
No. 5 77; this is a translation of a French work first published in 
Paris in 1564. The earliest English work is No. 1155, Gervase 
Markham’s Second Booke of the English Husbandman, printed in 
1615. There are very few items in, or translated from, foreign 
languages, there are few books published later than 1900, and only 
thirty-five from the seventeenth century; so that the collection con- 
sists mainly of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British books, 
and it is in eighteenth-century material that it is perhaps richest. 

All those who are interested in the ways of the husbandman and 
in country customs of the past will find rewarding and little known 
material in this collection. Its value to the student of agricultural, 
economic and social history needs no emphasis. 

As a practising farmer, a bibliophile and a man who played a part 
in public life, Walter Frank Perkins constantly used and enjoyed

his own books, and also supplemented them by drawing on national 
collections. He was, from its inception, an enthusiastic supporter of 
the movement for a national inter-library lending service. Therefore 
it was not surprising that when he gave his collection to University 
College Southampton, he wished a catalogue to be published which 
would make its contents known, and asked that the books themselves 
should be available for loan outside the University. It is hoped that 
the catalogue now printed will worthily, if somewhat tardily, fulfil 
his wishes. All items in the collection may be borrowed, subject to 
the usual safeguards. 

To Mr A. Anderson who compiled the catalogue and to Mr E. H. 
Milligan on whose preliminary work it is based, I express my thanks 
for the care they have devoted to it; inevitably some errors or mis- 
prints will be found, but the compilers are not responsible for any 
faults or omissions in the plan. I am most grateful to Mrs Mary 
Hopkirk for contributing the memoir of her father, in which, how- 
ever, she gives too small a place to his life-long interest in the wel- 
fare of the College and to the work he did for it; and I am deeply 
indebted to Mrs Walter Frank Perkins for many acts of kindness in 
connection with the transfer of the collection to the University and 
the preparation of the catalogue.

WALTER FRANK PERKINS: A MEMOIR 

BY HIS DAUGHTER 

MARY IIOPKIRK 



The Hartley Institution, embryo of the University of Southampton, 
was only three years old when Walter Frank Perkins was born at 
Bowling Green House, Southampton, on May 5, 1865. His parents, 
,> j Walter and Mary-Louisa Perkins, belonged to an old New Forest 

family whose roots lay in the Avon valley. The baby’s grandfather, 
Richard Perkins, had settled in Southampton on his marriage in 
1 820 and founded a large family, most of whom played a prominent 
part in the civic, professional and business life of the rapidly devel- 
oping town. Sir Frederick Perkins, the baby’s uncle, was mayor 
when Lord Palmerston arrived from Broadlands to open the new 
and comparatively humble — but much-needed — adult education 
tentre. 

Bowling Green House, now engulfed by the docks, was then in a 
charming marine setting, and the family kept a cow in Porters’ 
Mead, now Queen’s Park. The children spent long summers at 
Wimpson Farm in Millbrook (then entirely rural), and later at 
Stoke Manor Farm, Bishopstoke, which their father rented, and it 
was there that the little boy acquired his love of farming in the days 
before mechanization — watching the corn cut with sickles and the 
hay falling under scythes, and noting with interest that the farm 
workers brought their dinners in pudding-basins tied up with red 
cotton handkerchiefs, and heated them in water drawn from the 
boiler of the threshing-machine. 

As a small child he attended a day school kept by a Miss Alford 
in Hill Lane, and later went to Forest School at Snaresbrook. Mean- 
while, his father bought a seemingly derelict house, then known as 
Abbott’s Park, on the edge of the town, rehabilitated it and restored 
its former name of Portswood House. The family lived there until 
1912. 

In 1885, Walter Frank entered the Royal Agricultural College at 
Cirencester, whence he emerged after two years with the Senior 
certificate of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, the First 
class certificate of the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scot- 
land (taking the first place of all candidates in agriculture), the First 

ix

class certificate and silver medal of the Royal Agricultural Society 
of Ireland, and the College’s own Diploma with honours. He passed 
second out of fifty-six in the land agency suh-division examination 
of the Surveyors’ Institution, and soon afterwards became a Profes- 
sional Associate. 

At an early age he became a bibliophile, specializing in books on 
agriculture, botany and forestry which were then of interest only to 
a very limited section of book-collectors, and could be obtained com- 
paratively easily and inexpensively. 

On leaving Cirencester he joined his father’s business as a 
surveyor, and while in practice, became a Fellow of the Surveyors' 
Institution, and a life member of the Royal Agricultural Society 
of England, of the Highland Society, and the Royal Agricultural 
Society of Ireland. 

Prior to his marriage, he made long tours of Canada and the 
United States, and went round the world. In 1901 he settled at 
Boldre Bridge House, near Lymington. In 1910 he entered Parlia- 
ment as member for the New Forest, having won the seat by a record 
majority, and he was returned unopposed in the two ensuing 
general elections. He retired from politics in 1922, and thence- 
forward devoted himself to literary and agricultural pursuits. 

He was a founder member and first President of the New Forest 
Agricultural Show, and keenly interested in the history of the New 
Forest; in addition to several articles on local history he published 
Boldre: the parish , the church, and its inhabitants , 1927; A New 
Forest bibliography , 1955; and his standard bibliography, British 
and Irish writers on agriculture was first published in 1929. 

Meanwhile the old Hartley Institute had become the University 
College of Southampton, and in 1 928 when an appeal was launched 
for funds to enable it to attain university status, Walter Frank 
Perkins succeeded his brother-in-law — Sir Russell Bencraft — as 
Honorary Treasurer to the College, an office he held till 1933, when 
ill health compelled him to resign. 

He died at Boldre in 1946, and a short time prior to his death gave 
his collection of agricultural books to the university of his birthplace.

Note on Cataloguing Usage 



The catalogue is an author catalogue, entry being under the names 
of authors, editors, societies and government departments, and 
under place in the case of institutions. Books by pseudonymous 
authors whose real names are unknown are entered under the 
pseudonym: anonymous books are entered under title. Noblemen 
are entered under the family name, and British compound sur- 
names under the last part of the name. js 

The size of each book is given in accordance with an arbitrary 
system of measurement over the covers: 

sm. 8vo — under 7" high 
8vo— 7"-9i" high 

la. 8vo — 9 1"- 12" high, not over 8" wide 
4to — over 9J-" high, over 8" wide 

fol. — over 12" high, not wide in proportion to height. 

In the case of books published up to 1700, the true bibliographical 
format is added in round brackets after the arbitrary one, if the two 
differ. In the case of the earlier (quarto) series of Board of Agricul- 
ture surveys and of the works in quarto issued in conjunction 
with them, the description (sm. 4to) is added to distinguish these 
from the later series of octavo surveys.

The title-page is a cancel or addition. The appearance of the text

possible that this is an English re-issue of the English translation 
published by Balarac junior at Bordeaux in 1858. The translation 
is not that of Riall, published at Dublin in 1851, but there is no 
hint as to the identity of the translator.

The title-page is a cancel. This translation is sometimes attributed

p. 48: but there seems to be no good authority for this attribution, 
nor for that of Arber (T.C. iii, 573, etc.) and Watt, who name one 
Arthur Young ( not the Secretary of the Board of Agriculture) as 
author or translator.

rvas by his father (AYilliam), his brother (Jacob) and himself.

SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES 



Arbuthnot: A true method of treating light hazely ground. 1811. 

This work, usually treated as anonymous or wrongly attributed to George 
Thomson, has on p. iv: ‘The substance of [this tract] was furnished by the 
joint contributions of an Association, but the whole was framed and digested 
by . . . James Arbuthnot, . . . Longside, Aberdeenshire.’ Perkins (p. 152) 
attributed it to Thomson apparently through a misreading of Macdonald’s 
entries under 1735 (p. 209) where An Account of a threshing machine invented 
at Dalkeith, attributed to Thomson, appears immediately before the present 
work; Macdonald’s attribution to Thomson of An Account of a threshing 
machine appears to be due in turn to a misreading of Weston, p. 62: cf. 
Donaldson, p. 52, where the same attribution is made. 



Bernard: Account of Britton Abbot’s cottage and garden. 1806. 

Evidence from the text indicates that the ‘Society’ referred to on the title-page 
and elsewhere throughout the pamphlet is the Society for bettering the con- 
dition ... of the poor; this was founded by sir Thomas Bernard, and most of 
its early publications were written by him. His authorship is strongly sug- 
gested by a note signed ‘B’ on p. 11 of the second sequence (A cottager's 
garden), and the work is attributed to him in the D.N.B. and in James Baker’s 
Life of sir Thomas Bernard (1819), p. 55. The pamphlet consists of two earlier 
tracts bound together with a new inclusive title-page; the latter is printed on 
a leaf which is sewn round the outside of both the other gatherings, forming 
a cover. 



Considerations on agriculture. 1730. 

The name of George Rye, to whom this work is frequently attributed, seems 
to be first mentioned in Weston (p. 58) where he is listed as author of Observa- 
tions on agriculture. Dublin, 8vo. 1730. Entries with similar wording in Watt, 
Loudon, Allibone, Macdonald and Donaldson presumably derive from Weston. 
There is no other trace of a work with the title Observations in agriculture by 
Rye, and it seems quite possible that this is the work meant by Weston. The 
present copy is in a binding roughly contemporary with the book, and has an 
18th century lettered title Ryan on agriculture. A George Rye, of Cork, 
figures in the British Museum catalogue as author of a medical work pub- 
lished in 1754: the author of the present book was from internal evidence a 
man of scientific training and lived in Cork; this seems to support the 
hypothesis of Rye’s authorship. 



Evelyn: A letter . . . concerning the Sembrador. [c. 1780]. 

The work is evidently a reprint of Evelyn’s letter, with a frontispiece illus- 
trating the Sembrador as shewn in the print accompanying Evelyn’s article of 
1670 and another illustration of it from Mills’ edition of Duhamel’s Husbandry. 
A note at the foot of p. 8 indicates that the article was reprinted in consequence 
of, and in opposition to, an application made to Parliament for a reward for 
the invention of the Sembrador at some time subsequent to 1777.

This edition is not really the 5th, for the 4th ed. was published in 1707 (copy 
in Southampton University Library) and the 6th in 1720. The present edition, 
on the evidence of its typography alone, is not of as early a date as 1720, and 
may well be later than the 1760 here suggested. Rudder, who was baptized 
1726, was active 1749—1801 (Plomer’s Dictionary of printers, 1726—75). In 
this copy, the title-page [pp. i— ii], and the Table of contents [pp. xi— xii] occur 
in duplicate. The book is interleaved, and has additional ms. title-page: 
The husbandman' s manual with devout meditations. Improved and enlarged, by 

. 6th edition. The text of the ms. on the interleaved sheets appears to be 

copy for a proposed new ed. of the work. The paper of the interleaved sheets 
is watermarked 1817. 



Wright, T., of Oulcl. The formation and management of floated meadows. 

1808. 

Confusion may arise owing to the controversy over the size of farms between 
two Thomas Wrights, viz. the present author and Thomas Wright, broker, of 
Mark Lane, London. Wright of Mark Lane published in 1795 A short address 
to the public on the monopoly of small farms , a great cause of the present 
scarcity . . . If ith the plan of an institution to remedy the evil. 8vo. (B.M., 
T.1466. (7) and T.249 (6): R.A.S.E., P.115 and P.125, p. 556), in which he 
deplored the buying-up of small farms by monopolists. Large farms recom- 
mended was published anonymously in 1796, but was in fact a reply Joy Wright 
of Ould to his namesake’s pamphlet. On the title-page of the 1799 ed. of The 
art of floating land, by Wright of Ould, the latter is described as ‘author of 
Large farms recommended' . Large farms recommended is, in fact, the 
Dissertation on the size of farms referred to on the title-page of The formation 
of floating meadows ; in the B.M. and Roth, copies it is bound with the latter 
as here.
